Abstract Due to the significantly drastic progress and improvement in neurophysiological recording technologies, neuroscientists have faced various complexities dealing with unstructured large-scale neural data. In the neuroscience community, these complexities could create serious bottlenecks in storing, sharing, and processing neural datasets. In this article, we developed a distributed high-performance computing (HPC) framework called `Big neuronal data framework' (BNDF), to overcome these complexities. BNDF is based on open-source big data frameworks, Hadoop and Spark providing a flexible and scalable structure. We examined BNDF on three different large-scale electrophysiological recording datasets from nonhuman primate’s brains. Our results exhibited faster runtimes with scalability due to the distributed nature of BNDF. We compared BNDF results to a widely used platform like MATLAB in an equitable computational resource. Compared with other similar methods, using BNDF provides more than five times faster performance in spike sorting as a usual neuroscience application.

Metagenomics is a powerful approach to study environment samples which do not require the isolation and cultivation of individual organisms. One of the essential tasks in a metagenomic project is to identify the origin of reads, referred to as taxonomic assignment. Due to the fact that each metagenomic project has to analyze large-scale datasets, the metatenomic assignment is very much computation intensive. This study proposes a parallel algorithm for the taxonomic assignment problem, called SeMetaPL, which aims to deal with the computational challenge. The proposed algorithm is evaluated with both simulated and real datasets on a high performance computing system. Experimental results demonstrate that the algorithm is able to achieve good performance and utilize resources of the system efficiently. The software implementing the algorithm and all test datasets can be downloaded at http://it.hcmute.edu.vn/bioinfo/metapro/SeMetaPL.html.

Trust is a fundamental concern in large-scale open distributed systems. It lies at the core of all interactions between the entities that have to operate in such uncertain and constantly changing environments. Given this complexity, these components, and the ensuing system, are increasingly being conceptualised, designed, and built using agent-based techniques and, to this end, this paper examines the specific role of trust in multi-agent systems. In particular, we survey the state of the art and provide an account of the main directions along which research efforts are being focused. In so doing, we critically evaluate the relative strengths and weaknesses of the main models that have been proposed and show how, fundamentally, they all seek to minimise the uncertainty in interactions. Finally, we outline the areas that require further research in order to develop a comprehensive treatment of trust in complex computational settings.
